Observe
2. What do you notice first?
The first thing that I noticed was that there were not any people.
3. What people and objects are shown?
There are not any people there and the only objects on the porch are a trash can and a doormat.
4. How are they arranged?
The trash can and doormat are arranged neatly. They look as though they are purposefully put in those exact spots to be out of the way. Reflect
2. What’s happening in the image?
In this image, the porch is deserted. It seems as though the people living there do not stay there for very long. If they did there would probably be chairs or a table.
3. When do you think it was made?
I think that this image was made either in the morning or in the afternoon because there is light flooding through the windows and doors.
7. What’s missing from this image?
People are missing from the picture. During The Great Depression the people who lived there were most likely looking for work to get more money Question
2. What?
What was the artist's intended message?
In what kind of district was this picture taken in?
Was this picture taken in the morning or the afternoon?
Observe
1. I see a single light colored flower on a bush with leaves surrounding it.
2. The first thing that I noticed was that there was only one flower.
3. The only thing shown in the picture is the bush with the single flower. Reflect
1. I think this image was made to show how the African Americans were isolated from the rest of the community just like the flower is by itself.
5. I think that a simple camera was used to make it. It could have been a very cheap one because the contrast of colors wasn’t evened out.
7. Any kind of insect is missing from the picture. Flowers usually have insects living on them or pollinating them, but this one doesn’t. Question
1. I wonder who took this picture so that I could better understand the reason behind it.
2. I wonder where the insects are.
6. I wonder how the artist found a single flower because usually they have more than one blossom.
Observe
2. The first thing that I notice is one of the milk jugs looks as though it could fall over.
4. The milk jugs are arranged in a somewhat of a squiggly line.
7. I can see that there is a small farm in the background. Reflect
3. I think that this picture was taken in the evening because it is somewhat dark.
6. From this image, I can learn how to put together a somewhat sturdy table. The legs of it need to have supports and not just be there.
7. People are missing from the image. There aren’t any people watching the jugs or working on the farm. Question
1. I wonder who took this picture because my best guess would be someone who works on a farm or the one in the distance.
5. I wonder why the person chose to put milk jugs on a table.
6. I wonder how much milk fills all of the jugs.
Part B Observe
2. The first thing that I notice it that the shed-like structure has two doors.
5. The physical setting is on a road surrounded by trees.
6. The only word that I can make out is “room”.
Reflect
1. I think that this image was made to show separation.
6. From this image I can learn that people don’t like to use things that are in isolation.
7. People are missing from the picture. Question
2. What is the shed-like structure?
4. Where are the people?
5. Why did the artist choose this shed-like structure in particular?
Observe
2. The first thing that I notice is that the theatre has cola.
4. The signs are arranged in such a way that the people passing would instantly know that the theatre was for colored people.
6. The sign says, “The Gem Theatre: Exclusive Colored Theatre” and the end of the word cola. Reflect
1. I think that this image was made to show the separation between the colored and white people.
4. I think that the audience for this was colored people in the community.
8. If a person were to open a theatre today, It would be for all races and not just one. Question
I wonder who took this picture.
I wonder where this theatre was built.
I wonder why Coca-Cola would be in front of the theatre.
Observe
2. The first thing that I notice is there is something hanging that says, “God bless America”.
3. There is only one person shown and it is only a portion of their back.
6. The sign says, “Positively no beer sold to Indians”. Reflect
1. I think that this image was made to show the separation, not only between colored and white people, but also the “Indians”.
6. From this imaged I learned that there wasn’t just racism towards colored people.
8. If someone made the sign today, it would most likely say Native Americans. Question
I wonder who would own a bar and say that they don’t give loans.
I wonder what the purpose of refusing a sale would achieve.
I wonder why it doesn’t say colored people instead.
